Do I need an appliance repair person to install a replacement gasket for our Amana bottom freezer door?
Julie for Model Number BX22S5W
Answer Hello Julie,
This is a screw on type gasket 12550116Q. What you would need to do is, with door open, loosen screws under the lip of the door seal. Remove the door seal and install new seal. There will be a lip that goes under the liner before you screw it down.
Need to replace bottom freezer gasket. What number is the correct one for this model and how do you replace it?
Sue for Model Number amana refriferator bx2255l
Answer Sue, I found model number BX22S5L. The freezer gasket is part number 12550116Q. Loosen the screws holding the inner panel and gasket. Pull the old gasket off. The new gasket will press into the door liner. With the installation, you will have to screw in the corners first and do every other screw on each side to tighthen. It may be best to soak the new gasket in warm water to help take its shape/form You may need to use a hair dryer to form the seal, be careful not to melt it. Thanks.
Is there any directions on how to install this gasket on the door. Any help would be appreciated.
Durand C for Model Number Ammana Frezzer door seal BR22 Model
Answer Hello Durand,
The way that you change the door seal on this unit is, under the inside lip of door seal there are screws. Loosen the 1/4" screws all the way around door. Remove old door seal and install new. The door seal will go under the liner and then tighten down the screws.

Is this freezer door gasket magnetic to hold the door closed? My problem is the door just doesn't stick closed ... like it needs a stronger magnet.
Mark for Model Number amana bx22s5w
Answer Mark, The magnetic strip on the door gasket is not desinged to hold the door closed. it's purpose is more for creating a tight seal between the door and the front flange of the refrigerator. You need to look at the corners and hinge side of the seal and check for tears and distortion of the seal. Replace it if there is any distortion. Good Luck and Thanks
Can I install a gasket by myself?
Carolyn for Model Number KTRS20K
Answer Hello Carolyn! You should be able to install the door gaskets if you are fairly handy. Here is some instructions to go by, hope they help!
The door will need to be removed in order to install the seal and remove the screws from the existing seal. With the installation, you will have to screw in the corners first and do every other screw on each side to tighthen. It may be best to soak the new gasket in warm water to help take its shape/form. You may also need to use a hair dryer to form the seal, be careful not to melt it.
